I think you mean hypotenuse instead of hypothesis? Or am I misunderstanding the question? Anyway there is only one hypotenuse and you can find it using the distance formula.|dw:1379633725992:dw| So to find the length of the hypotenuse, plug in the coordinates of the two points into the distance formula:\[Distance=\sqrt{(x _{2}-x _{1})^{2}+(y _{2}-y _{1})^{2}}\] By the way, it doesn't matter which of the two points you select to be the first or the second since the terms are squared.
